Good customer service starts with the right words. Whether you communicate via live chat, WhatsApp, or email — ready-made scripts save your team time and ensure consistent, professional responses. Here are 30+ templates you can use right away.
Adapt the scripts to your own brand tone — formal or informal, with or without emojis.
Using live chat scripts enables customer service agents to respond swiftly to inquiries. Scripts act as a guide, allowing agents to handle multiple chats simultaneously without sacrificing quality. For example, a retail company that implemented ready-made scripts reported a 40% reduction in response time, significantly improving customer satisfaction.
Consistent messaging reinforces a company's brand identity. By using standardized scripts, organizations ensure that every customer receives the same level of service, which builds trust and loyalty. According to a survey by the Customer Service Institute, 70% of customers prefer interacting with brands that provide consistent messaging across all channels.
“Hi! 👋 Welcome to [Business Name]. How can I help you today?”
“Hi! I can see you're looking at our [product name/page]. Can I help you with anything?”
“Welcome back, [name]! Great to speak with you. How can I help?”
“We're currently closed, but your message is saved. We'll get back to you as soon as possible during our opening hours: Mon–Fri 9:00–17:30.”
“Thanks for your patience — I'll be right with you. Just one moment.”
“Let me look that up for you! Could you give me your order number? It'll be in the confirmation email you received.”
“I understand how frustrating that is. Unfortunately, your order has hit a small delay with the carrier. The new expected delivery date is [date]. I've noted this for you — if it runs further behind, just let us know.”
“Your order is still being processed and will be shipped today/tomorrow. You'll receive an email with the tracking code as soon as your package is on its way.”
“I'm sorry to hear your package hasn't arrived. I'm opening an investigation with the carrier right away. That takes up to [X] working days. In the meantime, I'll send you a replacement — is the address still the same?”
“No problem! You can return your order within [X] days of receipt. Fill in our return form at [link] and include the packing slip. We'll process the refund within 5 working days of receiving it.”
“Of course! You can exchange the item for a different size or colour. Send the item back via the return process and reorder the size you want. Would you like me to place the new order for you?”
“I'm sorry about that! Could you send a photo of the defect? I'll arrange a replacement or refund straight away — which would you prefer?”
“Unfortunately, your [X]-day return window has passed. As an exception, I can offer [solution]. I hope that works for you — shall I arrange that?”
“You're absolutely right, and I'm genuinely sorry this happened. This isn't the experience we aim for. I'll make sure this gets resolved right away.”
“Thank you for sharing this with us — feedback like this really helps us improve. I'm looking into this now and will get back to you within [X] hours with a solution.”
“As a gesture of goodwill, I'd like to offer you [discount/free shipping/gift voucher] on your next order. I hope that helps rebuild your trust in us.”
“I understand you'd like to speak with a manager. I'm forwarding this right now. You'll hear from us within [X] hours — is that okay?”
“Unfortunately, this item is currently out of stock. Would you like me to notify you when it's available again? I can send you an alert by email or WhatsApp.”
“Great question! [Answer to question]. Do you have any other questions about this product, or would you like to check a specific size or colour?”
“The price of [product] is [amount], including VAT. Shipping costs are added on top if the order is below the [free shipping threshold]. Can I help you with anything else?”
“Sorry about that! A failed payment can have several causes. Try again with a different payment method, or contact your bank. If it still doesn't work, I'm here to help.”
“I'm sending your invoice to [email address] right now. If you don't receive it within 10 minutes, please check your spam folder too.”
“Great that I could help! If you have any more questions, we're always here. Have a wonderful day! 😊”
“Glad that's sorted. If there's anything else, you know where to find us. All the best!”
“I'm sorting this for you now. You'll hear from us within [X working days]. If you have questions in the meantime, feel free to reply to this conversation.”
“Once again, my apologies for the situation. We're doing everything we can to make it right. Thank you for taking the time to reach out.”
